I had a wonderful time in Kazakhstan and then in Muncie. I am now in the midst of my next big transition ... a move to Lynchburg, VA. I will be spending the fall and some of the spring in Lynchburg as we train together as a new team to go back to Kazakhstan. Right now it is looking like I will be returning to Kaz with this new team sometime in April. I am excited to see this team come together and look forward to being in Lynchburg for this time. I will be stopping in MD/PA on my way to Lynchburg later this week and look forward to seeing my Grandpa Coggins and many friends.
It is always difficult to say goodbye, but I continue to see how each step down the path of life has a specific purpose and continues to grow me in a way that would be impossible otherwise. I'll have to share some of the ways the last few months have impacted me in a future post. I hope you have a wonderful week!
